AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Gets a Small Price Cut
AMD has given its flagship Ryzen processor, the Ryzen 7 1800X, a small price cut. The chip is now priced at USD $469 on leading online retailers in the US, down from its launch price of $499. This $30 cut, however, isn't spread over to AMD's other Ryzen 7 series parts. The Ryzen 7 1700X continues to go for $399, and the Ryzen 7 1700 (non-X) around $329. Prices of the Ryzen 5 series six-core and quad-core parts seem unaffected, too.
AMD's flagship processor, the Ryzen 7 1800X features eight cores, SMT enabling 16 logical CPUs for the software to deal with, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. It is clocked at 3.60 GHz, with 4.00 GHz TurboCore frequency, and XFR (extended frequency range) unlocking higher automated overclocks depending on the effectiveness of your cooler. The socket AM4 chip is built on the 14 nm process, and has a 95W TDP rating.

My best guess is that the 1700X and 1600X are selling far better this month, although I do like the idea that are getting ready for the HEDT platform. But at the same time I don't expect Ryzen 12/16-cores until the August - October timeframe. But it would be cool if they came out sooner....
Next time, try something like "Intel is still bestest" or "AMD rules".
In the meantime I'm writing from my 2012 Intel+Nvidia laptop.
Your comment is unnecessarly cocky.
The thing is AMD spun up the wheel and others are evidently reacting.
AMD is making their moves to counteract.
That's my view.
Have a nice day.
Making your response unnecessarily.. shallow.
That's my view.
Have a nice day.
$369 for B350 Motherboard and Ryzen 1700x that's a pretty good deal if you ask me.
